Enabling Quantitative Polarimetry for Keck/NIRC2: Preliminary Mueller Matrix Model Calibration
Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +27
The Keck/NIRC2 infrared imager was upgraded in 2025 with dual-beam polarimetric observing modes spanning approximately 1.1--4.1 microns (JHKL' bands). We present a preliminary JHK…
Technical description and performance of the phase II version of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer
Nemanja Jovanovic, Daniel Echeverri, Jacques-Robert Delorme +46
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a series of upgrades for the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system and the NIRSPEC spectrograph to enable diffraction limited, high…
Towards understanding interactions between the AO system and segment co-phasing with the vector-Zernike wavefront sensor on Keck
Maïssa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +14
We extend our previous demonstration of the first on-sky primary mirror segment closed-loop control on Keck using a vector-Zernike wavefront sensor (vZWFS), which improved the Stre…
The high-contrast performance of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer
Jason J. Wang, Dimitri Mawet, Jerry W. Xuan +25
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), a series of upgrades to the Keck II Adaptive Optics System and Instrument Suite, aims to demonstrate high-resolution spectroscopy o…
Keck Primary Mirror Closed-Loop Segment Control using a Vector-Zernike Wavefront Sensor
Maissa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +17
We present the first on-sky segmented primary mirror closed-loop piston control using a Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) installed on the Keck II telescope. Segment co-phasing error…
Sequential coronagraphic low-order wavefront control
Michael Bottom, Samuel A. U. Walker, Ian Cunnyngham +2
Coronagraphs are highly sensitive to wavefront errors, with performance degrading rapidly in the presence of low-order aberrations. Correcting these aberrations at the coronagraphi…
